Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hypodermic syringe, and more particularly to a safety self-destroying disposable syringe (called ‘safety syringe’ for short in following).
2. Description of Prior Art
It has been proofed by the practice of medicine that for avoiding human or animal crossly infecting in injection or withdrawing process, the hypodermic must use disposable injector facilitating to be disposed as garbage after using. In accordance with the conventional disposable syringes commonly used in the market so far, it is typically comprised of a hollow tube, a needle and a piston fitting into the inside of the hollow tube, but the vital problem of this kind of syringe is that the needle is kept into the outside after injection, relating to the sharpness of the needle, the air-opening needle attached on the syringe not only brings up some troubles in transporting and disposing these medical garbage, but also cause the medical workers to be stung unexpectedly and frequently, so that the second cross infection will become to be inevitable, especially to syringes used to those patients with heavy infection diseases (like aids, hepatitis, SARS and so on), it is a big hidden trouble in medicine to be regarded. It is proofed in practice that the unexpected harms occurred by the risky syringes is more than others.
Recent years, according to the discovery of repeat-using the disposable syringes by some evil persons, a safety self-destroying syringe was proposed in last century, in which the used self-destroying syringe is automatically destroyed or locked up without any possible to be used repeatedly. But there is a big shortcoming existing in these conventional self-destroying syringes that the needle holder has to correspond to the hollow tube one to one, it is impossible of replacing the needle holder for meeting the necessary of different patients, so that the injection operation becomes so complex to bring some troubles to the medical workers.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a main object of the present invention to provide a safety self-destroying syringe, in which the hypodermic needle can be replaced with diversity of standard needles, and structure of the syringe is simple facilitating to manufacturing and use with high safeness.
For archiving the goal, the present invention provides a safety self-destroying disposable syringe consisting of a hollow tube, a plunger fitting into the inside of the hollow tube and a rubber piston attached on the tip end of the plunger, and a needle holder attached on the front end of the hollow tube, wherein said needle holder is comprised of a cone base and a seat; said cone base has a Roll cone for fitting into the needle, and a circular base for fitting into the inside of the hollow tube, there are several O-rings attached on the contacting surface between them; there is a locating ring-groove built on the inside wall of the hollow tube approaching the front end for catching up the needle holder; said plunger has a conical head built on the front end, and said conical head has a circular barb built on the middle portion.
Said cone base has several elastic catching lugs built on the bottom outside wall coordinating to the locating ring-groove of said hollow tube for engaging in, and an internal convex edge formed on the bottom rim of the inside wall; said seat is fit into the hollow inside of said cone base, and has an elastic clamper built on the internal front end, and a flange built on the external front end for fitting into the internal hole of said cone base, and a middle flange built on the middle portion for supporting outward the elastic catching lugs of said cone base.
Said cone base has several elastic catching lugs built on the bottom outside wall coordinating to the locating ring-groove of said hollow tube for engaging in, and a ring-groove built on the inside approaching the bottom with the width bigger than the sum of the fitting segment of the top portion of the seat and the distance of push-up; said cone base also has several elastic clampers built on the inside wall on the bottom; said seat is fit into the hollow side at the bottom side of said cone base with an external circular surface mating to the diameter of the ring-groove of the cone base, and has an internal convex edge formed on the bottom end for catching up the raised cone head of said plunger, within its length is bigger than the elastic catching lug such as the seat depart-off distance; said seat also has a column head built on the external wall of the top end for matching with the elastic catching lugs of the cone base, and a circumferential notch built on the bottom, within the size of the circumferential notch is in excess of the returning course of the elastic catching lugs of the cone base.
Said cone base has an upper flange built on the outside wall for matching to the front internal flange of the hollow tube, and a middle flange mating to the hollow cavity of the hollow tube, so between said upper and middle flanges a flat mesa is formed, and an internal convex edge formed on the bottom portion of the inside wall; said seat is fit into the hollow inside of said cone base, and has an elastic clamper built on the internal front end, and several elastic catching lugs built on the external low wall coordinating to the locating ring-groove of said hollow tube for engaging in; said seat also has a front flange built on the front rim outward for matching with the internal diameter of said cone base, and a low flange built on the bottom portion.

Said plunger has tree knock-off notches built on different surfaces alternatively at the middle portion.
Said plunger has a safety baffle built on the back end axially with several knock-off notches on the connection portion for contacting with the back end of the hollow tube.
According to applying above-mentioned structure, comparing with the conventional safety syringe in the market so far, the present invention has following advantages: first, the elastic catching lugs distributed on said cone base (or said seat) symmetrically engage into the ring-groove of the hollow tube tightly to keep the cone base from drawing out or in, or rotating right-left, meanwhile the Roll cone head can match to diversity of standard hollow needles. O-ring located between the cone base and the hollow tube prevents the liquid from leaking. As drawing out the syringe after finishing the injection operation, said cone base is easy to be pulled into the inside of the hollow tube without any possible to be reused, so the self-destroying function is carried out. Second, just need to exert a bit pushing force on the plunger so that the cone head of the plunger enters the inside of the elastic clamper of the cone base to reduce the pain of the patient; next, the safety baffle attached on the rear end of the plunger can prevent the syringe from self-destroying unexpectedly before use or in a mistake operation. In one word, the safety syringe offered by the present invention can withdraw the needle into the inside of the hollow tube after using, and it can match to diversity of standard hollow needles in replacing, meanwhile the safety syringe has simple structure, easy manufacture and convenient use, and high safety features.
